# Isaiah 10:20-21

## Text (Berean Standard Bible)

> **20** On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
>
> **21** A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.

## Protestant Usage

Jehovah is called El Gibbor here — the identical phrase used of the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6. Proves the title is exclusive to deity.
